here’s what to do:

read snowballs by lois ehlert

notice all the things used for facial features

talk about how a snowflake has poky edges

shred white paper

paint the back of a paper plate with glue

sprinkle the shredded paper on (so it’s poky-looking)

sing this song to the tune of  “twinkle, twinkle:

snowboy (or girl or dog or cat, etc), snowboy, where can you be?

i built you yesterday when you were here with me

i made you tall (or small) and i made you fat

i gave you a nose, two eyes, and a hat

now my snowboy has melted away (sing this part very slowly and with a sad face)

but the snow is falling and it’s time to play! (sing this part very quickly while clapping)
